Need your Dreamweaver expertise. I use DW to manage my site assets. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to get the synchronizing to work right because DW doesn't recognize the right time on my Web server. My server is somewhere back East so it has a different time zone than my Western Mac. I haven't been able to figure out how to compensate/correct for the time difference. Is there a way to do this?<br><br><pre>** sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn **</pre><p>

Damn, man. What is it? Do I offend, or do I just ask the tough questions? <br><br>Between this and the MPEG Muxing question (and a while back the "format for" printing question), I've gone with a .000 batting average.<br><br><pre>** sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn **</pre><p>

Thanks. The Help Viewer files were of no use. And in the Remote Server setup, there's nowhere I see to set the time difference (either in relation to my computer or to GMT).<br><br><pre>** sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn **</pre><p>

I just set my server to EST, which is the time zone I'm in.<br><br>I hated trying to do the mental conversion of Central time to EST.<br><br>[color:blue]Quitters never win, winners<br> never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.</font color=blue>

Alright, best I can tell, it is actually working. It's just its behavior as an interface is crap. When I upload a file to my server through Check In using Dreamweaver (even if I had just created it), it updates the modification date of the local file to that of the server (which means, I now have local files created tomorrow). WHAT?! That's screwy. I wish it would do it the other way around at least (modify the date on the server to reflect my local time). It's far more likely that I'm going to also synchronize files between two local directories as well. If DW is changing the local date, then my local synchs and backups go to hell. Not good, not good at all. <br><br>Also means that if I create a GIF (for example) and I upload via "put" or "check in" it will get a new mod date on my local machine. Then if I happen to resave the GIF in the next several hours with a quick update locally, DW is still going to see that one on the server as being newer because my new local file will have an "older" relative modification date. Grrr. Sucks.<br><br><pre>** sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn **</pre><p>

So even though my server at Verio is back east somewhere (though it seems to be set to GMT +0), I can change it? Any clue how I'd do that?<br><br><pre>** sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn **</pre><p>

The problem isn't with check-in or even put per se; it's the synchronization feature--if the time code isn't right, it does weird things as described.<br><br><br><pre>** sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn **</pre><p>
